Lehmann’s mentor, David Hookes, was also killed in 2004 when he was punched by a bouncer and suffered a cardiac arrest.

Lehmann’s strong message to all Australians – not just middle-aged men – was to put their health first.“Go to your GP if you’ve got any signs at all, get checked out through the heart specialist, and these machines are obviously last resort, but that helped someone like Greg Page; saved his life,” he said.
